The Institute of Law is a 'boutique' law school, offering law teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels to small numbers of students, both based in the Channel Islands and worldwide with our online-based virtual-study option, which we can provide to any potential student. A not-for-profit educational body founded in 2008 by Jersey’s former Bailiff (chief justice) Sir Philip Bailhache, in 2
009 it launched the Jersey Law Course for lawyers seeking to qualify as advocates or solicitors in Jersey. In October 2010, it launched tuition for students enrolled for an LL.B degree or the Certificate of Higher Education with the University of London International Programmes (formerly called the External System). A team of experienced academics from UK and French universities provide live LL.B tuition to students in the Island, 5pm Friday to 2pm Sunday each weekend. LL.B and CertHE students also have seminars with a local lawyer one evening a week. More recently, we have started running the LL.M and the PhD, for those who want a postgraduate degree in Law. Students also have the option to study individual modules with us, if it would be useful for work or they are particularly interested in the topic, without committing to a complete Law degree. We teach undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students, including practising lawyers on the island. We have a high pass rate with some of the highest achieving students on the University of London's LL.B. Our students have won international mediation and mooting competitions, competing against students from all over the world. Our students also have the opportunity to study the Double Degree; two years with us and two years studying French Law in France. As well as teaching rooms and a student common room, Law House is also home to the Island's Law Library, which visitors can access within office hours for £10. We also run CPD events for lawyers regularly throughout the year, alongside our free seminars for non-lawyers; Law Made Simple. We hire out our seminar rooms for events during the week, and if you would like to book one, you can find out our prices on our website and contact us via the email address below. Office Hours:
